Building Your Bar

Back during my Freshman year of college, my very first drink ever was a shot of Burnett's Vodka, room temperature, from a red solo cup, in a questionably cleaned dorm room. If you are unfamiliar with Burnett's, it's that stuff you find in big plastic jugs for $9.99 at discount liquor stores that easily overlook suspicious IDs. I'm sure it would do a better job at cleaning glass than it would be as a drinking spirit. Anyways, I didn't know better so at the time, so I thought "huh, this isn't horrible." The (many) times I drank the stuff after that first run-in were less and less enjoyable. I realized that unless I managed to pour and swallow with the smallest amount of tongue contact, I would feel like Hades himself was having Samba night in my mouth.
​
7 years later, I'm happy to say I have since graduated to more reputable hard alcohols than the plastic jug choices of my college self. The bar at my apartment now houses a broad but carefully chosen selection of alcohols. So maybe now you're building up your own first collection - What should you get? What should you skip? How much should you get? Let's take a look deeper.
